Chapter 41 Kill You

"In 1989, for Jordan, the biggest change in his mentality was: he felt that he could finally get close to Ah Gan."

——Published in 2016, "Michael Jordan: The Life" by Roland Lazenby, excerpt.

One hour before the game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers ended, in Dallas, the Chicago Bulls had just defeated the Mavericks.

Michael Jordan had scored 41 points in the game. They had easily crushed their opponents and then hurriedly left the arena, heading to the airport to wait for their flight to Portland.

Besides the Detroit Pistons and the Portland Trail Blazers, no other team in the league had its own aircraft.

Waiting at the airport was a hassle and consumed one's patience. After a game, players needed rest and relaxation, and waiting made it difficult to relax.

Jordan chose to play cards with his teammates, enjoying his favorite game of Badugi, and betting with cash.
